Strong's Lexicon Talmon: Talmon Original Word: טַלְמוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to oppress" or "to cover." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Talmon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: Talmon is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to an individual who was a gatekeeper in the temple during the time of Nehemiah. The name may imply a role of protection or oversight, consistent with the duties of a gatekeeper. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, gatekeepers held significant responsibilities, particularly in the context of the temple. They were tasked with maintaining the security and sanctity of the temple precincts, controlling access, and ensuring that only those who were ceremonially clean could enter. This role was crucial during the post-exilic period when the community was re-establishing its religious practices and identity. Talmon, as a gatekeeper, would have been part of this important function in the restored temple service.
